Florence｜A drugstore with a very artistic atmosphere

There is a drugstore with a very artistic atmosphere in Florence. Just looking at the decoration, you might mistake it for a museum or a church. The predecessor of the store was a monastery. As early as the 13th century, priests began to grow herbs and make ointments and creams with ancient secret recipes. In the 17th century, they opened the store for sale to the public at the suggestion of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. The secret recipe has been passed down to this day and more types of care products have been developed. Since all the products are made of pure natural herbs, they have a very good reputation. Perfumes and shower gels are very popular. It is also a popular choice for buying souvenirs in Florence. Even if you don’t like shopping, it is highly recommended to come and take a look and check in. 📍 SMN Centennial Monastery / Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella 🏦Business hours 09:30-20:00 #italy #italytravel #florence
